Game Description
Combine words into curses to banish demons. As you spend time near the portal while banishing demons you will be inflicted with curses yourself. This will make it harder and harder to form words as these curses stack up.
How does your game tie into the theme?
You must create curses (swear/insult) while inflicted with curses (jinx/hex).

Wow! That was impressive and a cool way to take the theme. Art and font match well. I took way too long before I understood the game.
Awesome visuals and great idea <3
Cool game! Very unique spin on the typing genre. Awesome aesthetic and music as well. Great job on the submission!
Interesting and unique concept, struggling to type them words properly after playing now. Had quite the fun, nice job
Always love clever word games, I had fun putting together word combos to vanquish the demons. Great work!
What a cool idea! !! art and the music really soo coll.
Good job
I liket the game !!!
Reminded me of the typing games we played at school many a moon ago.
Good job
Really liked it! There was obviously an easier path for me ("reversed words", "ps are qs", "every vowel is E", which for some reason was easier than "every vowel is shifted").
As others have said, the difficulty grows a lot with the second curse. Took me some tries but I was able to beat it!
Loved the visual aesthetic, and the music and sound effects were really pleasant!
Very clever on the use of the theme! it was a fun experience!
Congrats!
knehT eey pertS!
I'm still going back and forward on whether to make the game longer but easier or keep it short and hard. It feels like there's some line there that a hard game can still be fun as long as it sufficiently short. Flappy Bird is the extreme example of this I think. Considering an average playthrough of this game is maybe 2 minutes compared to Flappy Bird's 10 seconds I might be a little bit over that line.
Glad you had fun!
What a cool idea! The art and the music matched together really well.
I also think that the difficulty scales a bit too fast, and I think that perhaps adding interactions with curses could help. Maybe something like “E and A will appear flipped when next to each-other” would help with the “all vowels look like E’s”? I dunno, I’m just making garbage up as I go along.
The point being, it was really fun, and I think it has a lot of potential if you were to decide to fully flesh it out!
Well done!
Thank you!
Agreed that the difficulty needs tuned a bit - a lot of the feedback is regarding that. I messed around with having the first round be a letter swap, the second round a vowel thing, and then the rules only combine in the third round so that it builds a little slower but I felt that it made the game a little too long.
I like the EA flip idea - making up garbage as I go is how I came up with most of the rules, haha. I had some worse ideas like turning all the letters upside down and having Caesar ciphers as rules.
